Playground

"Chunchun, watch me!" Penny sat on the swing and pushed herself away before riding it happily. "Hehehe."

Her feet would touch the ground every once in a while, making the swing go higher and higher. Chunchun sat several feet away, watching her mother enjoy the swing all alone. When Penny had enough of it, she grinned at Chunchun.

"Do you remember when we used to go to this playground?" Penny remarked, her grin fading a bit. "We used to play here with Tiana, Mouse, Blacky, and Renren."

Penny's smile was slowly replaced with sadness as she held the chains attached to the swing. She leaned her head on one of them, her eyes on her well-behaved cat.

"I kind of… miss those times," she added quietly. "Don't you?"

Chunchun stared at her before walking over to Penny's feet.

"You really know when I'm sad, don't you?" Penny chuckled as she picked up her cat, still swinging gently.

Silence ensued, with only the metal creak of the swing echoing.
